Drawing on the pioneering research and insights from the University of Melbourne’s Graduate School of Education and leading education researcher John Hattie, the Clinical Teaching program is the only course of its kind in Australia.

This program will provide you with specialised skills in student assessment and observation to improve the quality of your teaching. You will also have a greater impact on the learning and development outcomes of your students.

Course aims

In this program you’ll generate, interpret and evaluate various forms of student data to plan appropriate interventions that support student growth, at individual, group, team and school levels. Using the latest educational research, you’ll also discover the key theories around how students learn to accurately identify and address student-learning needs.

Who the course is for

This course is designed for high-achieving teachers who are dedicated to advancing their practice in early childhood, primary and secondary school settings.
